   Gentle Giant replied to JoeNurseRN's topic in School Programs

   Thanks for the info. Natalie!! I'll likely call Patrick for an extension if the contract doesn't come this week. Yeah, NYC is a short bus trip away--makes for a good trip on long weekends, and there are several cheap bus operators. Good luck on your ...

   The deposit can be postmarked by the 15th. Let us know what they say when you call. It would be really nice to read the "fine print" before sending off the 900 bucks. I, too, was offered admission at another school, but I am 95% sure I'm going to Gto...

   Hi, Has anyone who is a WHC scholar received the loan and work contract in the mail yet? I'm wandering if we'll have time to review it before deposits are due? Thanks

   Gentle Giant replied to JoeNurseRN's topic in School Programs

   Poppsymom, I haven't entered the program yet, but I do know that you are required to work full-time (36hrs/wk) for the 3-year contract. So, you would be taking the MSN program part-time. According to a group of students that we talked to on our tour ...

   Thanks for your insights, TLM. May I ask what your study schedule looks like in a typical week, like how many hours per day you usually study during the week and on weekends? Thanks

   Hi JenJam, Would you mind sharing some more insights into the program? I'm curious as to why some people decided not to stay for the scholarship. What are some of the reviews of the hospital? Thanks

   Gentle Giant replied to purplegum's topic in Washington DC

   Here is what I've been told about the international health certificate: It is somewhat like a minor (4 classes). So, the way Gtown's ABSN program is set up, you need a certain number of prereqs for entrance from their specified list, then you take a ...

11. Nursing or Occupational Therapy ?

    Gentle Giant replied to sarahcurzon's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in a similar boat in regards to choosing between nursing and OT. I've shadowed both RNs and OTs, and I did like the OT work better: more one-on-one interaction with patients, seemed to be more autonomy, chance to visit different floors of the hos...

12. Help with deciding becoming a nurse or occupational therapist!

    Gentle Giant replied to interestedinnursing2's topic in Career Support

    Hey everyone! I'm exactly in the same boat as far as deciding between OT and nursing. So undecided, in fact, that I'm applying both to second-degree BSN programs and OT programs. I've shadowed four nurses and two OTs, and yet I can't decide. So afrai...

    Gentle Giant replied to BethT's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I totally hear you. I'm finishing up my last semester of A&P and all of a sudden am unsure if I should move forward in my prereqs and apply to nursing school. I have done a couple of job shadows, one in an ED and another on a med/surg floor. The...
